Hi Ron,



The bird we saw on February 17 was definitely a McKay's Bunting, and did not
look like the bird you photographed. It was basically an all-white bird,
with black only on the wings (both flight feathers and coverts). We hope
that the bunting will be relocated and photographed, so keep looking.

A group saw a light bunting on Cameron Lake Rd. on February 17 reporting it
as a McKay's Bunting. Meredith Spencer reported seeing a bird consistent
with the first on March 2.



This morning about 11 AM I took several photos that I believe may show the
same bird. They were taken on the south end of Cameron Lake Rd., just before
heading down the hill to Hwy 97. They turned out much better than I thought
they would. :')



Take a look. I look forward to the comments. Photos here:

I put up the ones showing the light bunting. More will follow soon.
